In 1927, the 3rd deadliest tornado in Texas history occurred when a violent F5, averaging nearly 1 mile wide, went on a 35-mile rampage through Rocksprings, located in extreme South Texas. The huge twister killed 74 and injured 205, or about one-third of the town's population at the time. An estimated $1.23 million in damage resulted as 235 of the 247 buildings were destroyed, many of which were leveled.
